Can the women in here explain something...

[GL]

I've been thinking of past relationships lately and don't want to make the same mistakes but I need some things cleared up.

1. Why are you so good at the silent treatment and how can us guys deal with it?

When my last ex would give me the silent treatment cuz she knew i hated that, I'd constantly make jokes until she finally burst out laughing. Then she'd get pissed and tell me to be serious.

2. Women tend to be good at letting guys do 10 billion small things wrong, build up all the anger from these small things and unleash their anger leaving the guy completely oblivious to how he got her that way. When we say what's wrong, you say "nothing". What's usually wrong?

3. Why is it that you expect guys to notice when you do something different with your hair, wear different lipstick, or buy a new outfit. We never notice unfortunately...or at least don't notice until after you've already gotten angry that we didn't notice when you wanted us to notice!

Please explain #1-3 and help unravel these mysteries😉

I'm not female...so I'm talk out of my ass here 🙂

1. They shut up to give us men time for personal reflection

2. The answer really is "nothing". They expected you to do, or same something, yet we say "nothing", so the answer really is "nothing".

3. That's the difference between the sexes. Women tend to notice small things that guys would never even dream of noticing, guys tend to revolve around big *cough* important *cough* things.

/me runs and hides from the women 😀

<< Women tend to notice small things >>


And guys should be very thankful that we do 😉

I can only speak for myself..
1 ) When I get pissed I get really pissed, I have a mean temper and say things I don't mean so its better that I keep my mouth shut until I cool down.
2) I only do this one during PMS time. I don't know about 'most' women but it is certainly a time when I am irrational, difficult and unpredictable.
3) I dont do this one.

Simple. Women are crazy. They don't know what they want, how are we suppose to know what they want? 🙂

Bah, women pick out small things to rationalize the big ones they're not allowed to talk about...

&quot;I don't think you're sensitive enough&quot; = &quot;You're ugly but I can't let anyone know I'm as shallow as you are&quot;

&quot;You don't help around the house&quot; = &quot;You don't cut it doing *you know* but I'm not a slut&quot;

Blah blah...okay, i'm ranting...

Puts on legless flame suit (not even for this would I wear pants)

vi_edit, I like your response to #2. I think women have the whole English language down pat.

kassy, yikes...don't even mention PMS. Just for kicks I'd mark down the dates that my ex would blow up at me, and sure enough after a few months, they started to form a pattern...

It's not like all guys know what they want 😛

one thing, PMS seems to be jsut an excuse, cuz we PMSing 24/7

GL - Having to go through PMS is a sad fact for many couples. I seriously feel for women who go through it and the men that have to deal with them.

The key to surviving PMS is being able to give lots of back, tummy and foot massages🙂 I eventually learned that part...almost forgot because it's been so long!

1. Ever heard the expression if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all. That explains your first question.

2. That I can't relate to, he doesn't have to ask me what's wrong, if something is wrong I tell him.

3. I don't get mad when he doesn't notice the little things, sometimes it might irritate me a little bit, but I don't hold it against him.
